Shoreline PTA Council urges support for House Bill 1338
Monday, February 3, 2025
House Bill 1338 updates and increases per pupil amounts for several Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs (MSOC) categories.
If 1338 passes in its current form, it fills the entire MSOC gap which would be around $2.2M dollars for our school district.
If it doesn't pass, that means millions of dollars that are not going towards staffing, mental health, curriculum updates, music and sports programs because utility bills and insurance premiums have to be paid.
Today Monday, February 3, 2025 at 4pm, House Bill 1338 is scheduled for a hearing in the House Appropriations Committee.
If it is approved by the committee it goes to the House for consideration. If it is not approved, it dies.
Shoreline PTA Legislative committee asks that you sign in as PRO by 3pm.
